A PRETTY PUZZLE.
How Bright Little Midget Showed Her
Love for Mamma.

Love for Mamma.
Mrs. Blanchard was entertaining
some friends in the parlor one evening
when she heard II small voice she knew
so we'll saying: please excuse. me,
mamma" Then she saw little figure
standing in the doorway in q long
white gown, with tangled curis and
bright eyes, too bright for ten o'clock
at night, thought Mrs. Blanchard.
Midget ran across the room to the
refuge that had never failed-mother'
arms. Mamma, DEAR pleaded the
little night owl, II just learned to-day
how to tell you love YOU in such ii
beautiful new way. Please. may /
show you? I'm so 'fraid I'll forget by
morning" Midget held up her
dimpled fingers. "Now, every body
do Just as do she said, gleefully.
Hold your thumbs together SO. now
the next fingers the same way, but the
next to that you must double in tight.
She held her chubby fingers in this
position. the palms together, the Thumbs
lightly touching, also the foretngers.
but the second fingers folded in 80 that
her rosy nails and the dmples that
stood for knuckles touched, then the
third and fourth fingers met at the tips
as the thumbs and fcrctingers did.
Now" cried Midget, in great delight,
chow far can you go from the nursc?"
and she parted the thumbs as far as
they would go. "Now, how far from
the cook?n and the forclingers went
apart.
Then in suppressed glec she carefully
explained; You must skip the folded
fingers and 90 to the next Now how far
can you go from your dear, sweet
mamma?' she cried in great triumph.
And odd il was thai those queer little
fingers would not separate and the more
YOU tried the closer they were, not
Midget's tiny fingers, but papa's strong
ones and Judge Mills wrinkled ones.

A Fable for Every 6ody.

In the depths of forest there lived
two foxes. One of them said one day
in the politest fox language: Let
quarrel" VERY WELL" said the
other. but how shall we set about
it?' They tried all sorts of ways, BIZ,
it could not BIO done, because each one
would give way. At last number one
fetched two stones. "There, " said he,
"you say they're yours. and I'll say
they're mine, and we will quarrel, and
fight, and scratch. Now, I'll begin,
Those stones are mine?" Very well,
answered the other. 'you are welcome
to them" "But we shall never quar-
rel at this rate" cried the other, jump
ing up and licking his face. "Yor
old simpleton. don't you know it takes
two to make quarrel any day." Sc

Processes of Burglars.

Burglary is not usually classed among
less an industry in its peculiar way,
and very numerously followed in cities
and large towns. Some one-a safe
manufacturer. we believe-has been at
the pains OF compiling a summary of
tho processes which burglars employ
in tho present advanced state of the
art. They are said to be: l. The
driving of wedges into door-jambs. by
which the tenon is forced out of the
packed groove, and explosives inserted
around and into the rabbet or stepped
flange. g. The application of the
drill on material represented as drill
proof metal (P). 8. The application
of tho Harris stripper, in peeling plates
from their riyet and machine screw
fastenings. 4. The application of the
Burton pulling wrench, by which lock
aad bolt spindles are drawn out of
doors. 5. The application of the
Mason ripper. a late and ingenious inn
plement of burglary, used on safes or
vaults with iron surfaces. 6. The APP
piication of the powder pump in fore
Ing explosives around the iambs of
safe doors and into crevices created by
wedging and in the use of iackscrews.
7. Tho explosion of dynamite on the
surface of the door, by which the BOLTS

MAGNETIC SURPRISES.
Franks Played by Electricity on Dog, n
Dust-Pan and Dinner Pail.

Dust-Pan and a Dinner-PaII.
A gentleman who is the owner of a
young setter dog is bringing him up in
the way that dog should go. accord
ing to the ethics of Solomon; nav,
more, he has spoiled the rod, in fact,
several rods, while his puppyship evil
IDENTIFY thought that he was sharing the
fate of the fagellant. He is also
a skilled amateur machinist. and dur
ing leisure evenings employed his time
in making unique collar of polished
iron plates. deliberately fashioned and
then nickel plated.
One of the methods of instruction
consisted in guiding the dog in the ele-
mentary stages of certain evoiutions
by inserting the point of a whip under
the dog collar, and by the slight pres
sure exerted one way or the other teach
him the desired movement; in this
manner the motions of the dog became
responsive to n slight pressure ON the
neck, such rs is often seen in cavalry
horses and other saddle horses, ex-
cept those in the eastern part of the
country, where they still retain the old
method of guiding saddle horses by
the bit.
The other evening our friend entered
an electric-lighting station, accom-
panied by the dog, when it was noticed
that the dog was moving sidewisc
toward dynamo and ut the same time
exhibiting symptoms of the most abject
fear, and his master, divining the
cause, pulled the dog away just as he
was almost in juxtaposition to the re-
volving armature of Brush dynamo.
The dog had been true to his training
and obeyed the slight pressure on his
neck caused by the attraction which the
field magnets excrted upon his collar.
A mishap illustrating human stupid
ity in the same manner that this showed
brute intelligence occurred in the same
station Il few evenings earlier. The
manager of this company is extremely
strenuous on the point of keeping the
station in perfect order; in fact he is
reputed to be ''poison particular" On
this evening he was showing some Wis.
itors over the station, when new man,
while passing the other side of Il dyna-
mo with dust-pan full OF sweepings
suddenly, with Il deXterous turn of the
wrist. threw the contents over the party
and as the honest German laborer threw
up his hands in establishment. the mag
netic attraction completed its work
drawing the dust pan completely of
his hands, and it became transtiXed t
the field magnets,
And this is the reason why this sta
ton is equipped with brass dust-pans
and the advice is passed along to al
electric light stations.
